Possibly, there is a study (if it has not been discontinued with NIH funding issues) led by Dana Farber I think, looking at nutritional management. The idea is that certain diets might show some substantial benefit in managing progression. I believe they are focused on plant based diets. I had a long talk with my hematologist who wanted to know if I was interested in participating but then he moved on to another hospital when research funding at his institution came under threat.

He was not a lead on the study but partipating.

@tracypage The study was listed under "Spark Cures". SparkCures is a myeloma and MGUS website that lists studies at major centers that are recruiting patients. I believe their goal is to get participation in research studies. Many of the studies do not require that you be in the center "AREA" to participate.
I believe Sloan also did a similar study and I wonder if the results and the foods used would be available. Sloan published the results of their study, which I remember as being positive.
